I loved Lauren - with her pug snoring in the background. First thing I was influenced to buy was because of her - Mac Sharkskin eyeshadow - she always used it as a base!I’d totally forgotten about Lauren Luke til now, but I always thought she was really lovely and I loved her eye make up skills. I was so pleased for her when she became popular and I remember seeing her on This Morning. But her presence seemed to decline in recent years and I just checked her channel, very low numbers of views recently. Did she take a long break or something?
was it Becca from Voussantbouxetbelle?Ah a girl who I can’t remember I used to love her bedroom and bought a decorative bird cage because she had one , she used to do a lot of primark hauls and I feel she wore a black brimmed hat a lot. Can’t for the life of me remember her name but I can picture her clearly! She had epilepsy and would talk about how she used to have so many bruises from having seizures.
I loved Laura’s video so much, would get so excited whenever she did a new one!Great thread!
I used to watch/Read Lollypop26 aka Buynowbloglater. She was so great. And those American sisters, Elle and Blair. This is back in 2011 onwards. I bought Mac eyeshadow All that glitters. Gosh Darling lipstick. Rimmel Cherries in the snow lipstick. Mac mineralise skinfinish natural. It was so fun to see them use or wear something then go and look for it in the shop to check it out.
Lollypop had this faux Alexander Wang bag with studs on the bottom from eBay and I bought one. Loved it!
I actually really miss when recommendations where natural and these bloggers had real lives I could relate to - before everything was monetises. There’s not one I actually trust any more tbh.
loved Petrilude! He was so cool!My favs back in the day were lollipop26 and xsparkage.
Xsparkage has a little crew - petrilude and sayanythingbrooke. Anyone remember them? Would love to know what they are up to now.
Xsparkage is still on YouTube but is really bitter she never made it big even though she was OG. Pretty hard to stomach watching nowadays tbh.
Yes! Thank you!!was it Becca from Voussantbouxetbelle?
She is still an influencer! Becca Rose. Owns a pug Iirc.Yes! Thank you!!
oh I forgot about some of these! Used to watch SaconeJolys - just looked them up as it’s been years! I’m sure they used to have a child called edwardo seems edward now calls himself Edie, identifies as a girl and wears dresses!Omg this is making me feel so nostalgic!!!
I can’t even remember when I started watching YouTube. I think the first person I followed was Lauren Luke and then somehow got into watching Elle and Blair. I remember they had that online store and they did the strap key chains with the initials on. I bought one thinking it was amazing this package from America
I also then started watching Dollybowbow bevause she used to do Jack wills hauls. I think she still posts now.
MissBudgetBeauty.
SaconeJolys before we realised how abusive they are.
Zoella and Louise.
Naomi Smart and Marcus vlogs
I loved lollypop26!!This thread takes me right back I feel so old!
So many names here that aren’t really about anymore. Lollipop26 was my favourite.
I came here as noticed that gem Morson has renamed her Instagram to gem Johnson…she’s been posting a lot of cryptic stuff and nothing of her husband so wondering if they’ve split and Johnson is her maiden name?
loved Lorraine StanickLove this thread. I was obsessed with YouTube from about 2008. I learnt how to do my makeup, convinced myself I would become a makeup artist...
I started my own blog around the same time, got about 50 followers. I got invited to a blogger event (lol) and didn’t go as I was only 14 hahaha. I thought I was great
Some of my faves were:
Pancea81
Lollipop26
All that glitters 21 and juicy star 07
Michelle Phan
Dulce Candy
Saccone Jolys (I watched them when they lived in Ireland)
Xrubyredlips
Pixiwoo/Pixi2woo
Megan hearts makeup (still follow her, love her)

YouTube was so much more genuine back then. I was definitely influenced to get my mam to order me some Sigma brushes... still got them now
